Hi, the version of bzip2.Writer in the `development` branch is very stable has gone through many months of [fuzzing comparing it's implementation with that of the C version](https://github.com/dsnet/compress/blob/development/internal/tool/fuzz/bzip2/bzip2.go). I have...

I am not currently working on merging it into the standard library. I would love to see that happen in the near future, but I am still blocked on finding...

> outputs are compatible with other standard bzip2 implementations out there Review by a another person doesn't guarantee this, but history has shown that programmers are faulty and the number...

This is not the right place to discuss vendoring or whether the standard library should be split apart and versioned separately or even distributed. All of that is being discussed...

Thanks for the issue. I'll definitely try to get a working brotli encoder released soon. I'll give fair warning that the first cut might not perform much better than DEFLATE...

Placing this here for reference: mholt/caddy#525

I wouldn't say "abandoned", but I'm not actively working on it at the present moment. I have a number of other projects currently occupying my time.

Obviously, the lack of traffic on this repo implies haven't done much in that regard :disappointed: The reason are the following: * I already implemented huffman encoding (since it's the...

@blitzprog, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but implementation compression algorithms really does require specialized knowledge. You're welcome to do research on how LZ77 works and various approaches to compute it.

Thanks for the update @dmitshur! I've been too busy with my actual work to work on this implementation. I'm glad someone else is providing it.
